Tracking down Veronica's parents.
After Grace took a shower, she put on a pair of blue jean trousers and a yellow top before coming out to see Efe and Rose laughing as they cross-checked notes together.
"Great, you're out," Efe said raising his head as soon as she stepped into the living room. "Hey, that's mine!" He barked pointing at the shirt.
"Well I like it and I wore it so now it's mine." Grace retorted.
Rose couldn't help herself but laugh at the victimized expression Efe wore on his face.
"What are we eating this morning?" Grace asked.
"What is in the kitchen?"
"Noodles?" Grace exclaimed. "What is wrong with you people, isn't there something decent to eat around here?"
"We don't buy foodstuffs to keep for later because of work." Efe said to appeal to Rose and Grace's disappointed faces. It didn't help change anything.
"Come on, " He said to Rose "you should be on my side here, we both work in the same place."
"That's not an excuse for eating

Vaillant Estate is one of the few places in Lagos meant for the rich to reside away from the rest of the middle and lower classes. It is filled with luxurious and beautiful houses, yet at the same time looked so quiet and desolate to Grace. She could bet none of the neighbors there knew each other closely asides from their names and titles. Efe had warned her before he left in the morning that she had zero chance of getting into the estate but it wasn't enough to discourage her from going.Grace realized why he said so as soon as she saw the security in front of the estate. They weren't armed to the teeth but judging by their attire, she regarded them as the real deal. At that point, she decided to play it cool and try her luck."Good afternoon sir," She said to the man in front. "Can you please let me in?""Who are you looking for?" The man queried with a straight face. Grace thought he looked like he had been wearing that expression all his life."And w

Joana had finished packing, all that was left now was to sneak out of the house without raising any suspicions from her dad."I think you should go out and check if he is still in the living room." Joana suggested."What if he asks about you? I told him I was going on to call you.""Tell him you didn't see me."June gulped nervously."Come on Ju, we don't have time." Joana said."Okay, I'll go." She said then walked out of the room."Daddy." She said as she walked by her parents' room door. There was no response. She called him out again but realized why he wasn't answering as soon as she got to the living room. Exhausted, her father was fast asleep on the couch she had left him some minutes ago. June quickly tiptoed back to her room."Is he there?" Joana asked."Shhh!" June warned with her fingers on her lips."Stop shushing me, I'm not loud." Joana glared."He's sleeping in the living room," June whispere

"So where would you be staying?" Margret asked shortly after they finished eating."John thought it would be best if fewer people knew about where we were going to avoid traces." Joana answered."And by fewer people he meant us right?" Margret said facing John whose hand gesture said 'You can't blame me.'"And when did our worries go from normal things like school and relationships and stuffs to murders and a serial killer on the loose?""These couple of weeks have been crazy." June added"And then Grace left, and now you and John are leaving... What about all our plans towards the end of the school year? What about graduation? This isn't fair."An awkward silence filled the room after Margret spoke."This sucks." June said shortly after."But it's better than being dead isn't it?"Margret sighed."What am I going to do without you girls. Nothing will feel the same ever again.""Hey you guys rem

John winced as he struggled to open his eyes. His whole body ached and the rays of morning sunlight reflecting on his eyes didn't make it easier for him. For a while, he didn't know where he was, or what he was doing there. He felt something dried up on his face and immediately knew it was his blood. He touched his forehead to discover it was swollen. As he fought back the throbbing ache on his head, he tried to gather his memory together.He looked over to his side to see Timileyin's face buried on the steering. Then he remembered.The Hilux... We crashed... Joana!His eyes were wide open now. The pain didn't subside though. He looked behind hoping to see Joana but could only find their bags."Oh my God!" His mouth felt dry as he exclaimed.He looked back at his cousin."Timileyin," He called with a cough. "Wake up." He said pushing him on the arm slightly.There was no response from Timileyin and John was beginning to fe

"Because two policemen are outside and I don't know what they are looking for." June's mother answered. "Are you sure you did nothing wrong?""Of course not!"Her mum let out a sigh."Okay, let's just go and see what they want. Your father is talking to them already."As she walked to the parlor, June reminded herself to stay calm. It's nothing. They don't know anything. But why are they at her house? She felt a knot in her stomach that told her she would not like the answer."Good morning sirs." Her mother greeted the policemen while she remained silent behind her."Good evening ma'am." The officers replied."So why are you here?" She demanded immediately."Erm, just as we were telling your husband before you came in," One of the officers answered. "There was a car accident at the bridge before the exit or the town last night."June was beginning to tremble where she stood. A car accident? No, it can't be! She slo

Making sure they kept their distance so that the driver's suspicions wouldn't rise, the motorcycle Grace boarded continued to follow Mrs. Badmus' car across the city until it stopped at a shopping complex."Okay, stop... I think she is coming out now." Grace said to the man riding the motorcycle, bringing him to a stop too.They watched as a young girl, not too older than Grace wearing a blouse and a skirt rushed to the side of the car. She bent her knees in a gesture to greet Mrs. Badmus who stepped out of the car and handed the girl her bag immediately. Probably her assistant, Grace assumed as she watched. Mrs. Badmus went on to say a few things to the girl who replied with a nervous nod. Satisfied with the response, Mrs. Badmus decided to go inside while the young girl followed behind her. This was the opportunity Grace was looking for. She knew it was the time to act!"Okay, I'm stopping here." She said alighting from the motorcycle and then gave the man som
Homicide Squad Not your average kidnap.
"I came to turn myself in.""Turn yourself in, for what?""I'm responsible for Joana's kidnap."June's parents were shocked by her statement but it was nothing new to the policemen around. They could do nothing but watch in utter perplexion as she was taken immediately to the interrogation room for questioning."So," The police officer sitting opposite her began as he held his hands together. "I guess what happened is that you planned your sister's kidnap because of some grudge, or perhaps that boy... And now you're feeling guilty so you chose to turn yourself in.""No, that's not it." June replied."It's not?" The man asked with a bit of skepticism. "So what is it then?"June decided to start from the very beginning, from the time when they became friends with Joana and how they attended the party, and how they started playing the game."So you expect me to believe that this kidnap is a direct result of a game?"

"June, remember what you told me before? Tell these two men exactly the same thing."June repeated the same thing she told Officer Simon to Officer James and Ade, and with every word she said, the pieces began to fit in James' head."So you're saying that when Margret said that Sylvester left them, you girls were just covering up his death, and the day Raymond died, you girls went to the party to prevent his death?""Yes." June answered.To Officer Ade, it all seemed delusional."Come on James, you're not saying you believe this nonsense do you?"Officer James remained quiet which only seemed to piss him off."You better say the truth if you know what is good for you." He said to June with a mean stare. "Did you girls kill them or not?""I don't think they did." James finally spoke up."What?"Officer Ade and Simon uttered."I don't think they killed anyone. I think someone is trying to mess with them; someon
